Milky Way
Marcus Miller feat. Keb' Mo' Lyrics

Wait a minute
The song is pausing to grab your attention and prepare you for the story it is about to tell.

Everywhere I go Everyone I know, is searching For some kind of answer
The song suggests that people are constantly searching for answers and solutions to life's questions.

Stars are shining by They decorate the night, in gemini Sagitarious and cancer
The song mentions three constellations, Gemini, Sagittarius, and Cancer, to create an image of a beautiful night sky.

Somewhere out there A mysterious form of light is awaiting They're gonna save us, make us famous And we wont have to feel so all alone
The song suggests that humans are searching for something bigger and better than themselves that can help them feel less alone.

Out on the edge of the the milky way Far from the paradise, going to school, serving time On the edge of the the milky way Dropped us off, and left us here Smoking up the atmosphere
The song describes humans as lost and abandoned on the edge of the Milky Way, simply surviving and polluting their environment.

Lots of boys and girls Living in this world are thinking We need to go faster
The song suggests that people always want to achieve more or move faster in their lives.

We're picking up the pace In the human race We don't worry about disaster
The song suggests that people are racing towards their goals without worrying about potential risks or negative outcomes.

Somewhere in there An important part of our collected brain is missing Is outrageous, like las vegas We are all together, but we are all alone
The song suggests that humanity seems to be missing essential knowledge or information, making us all vulnerable to a sense of loneliness and detachment.

Please Can somebody tell me Where is everybody going
The song begs the question of where humanity is headed, and whether our goals and priorities are truly worthwhile.

Come on back and save us Maybe they'll, come on back We are going to paradise
The song suggests that humans hope for some extraterrestrial saviors to come and rescue them from their current state and guide them towards paradise.

Welcome to the penitenciary The ultimate place to live your life In paradise or misery
The song suggests that living on the edge of the Milky Way is like living in a prison, full of both good and bad experiences.

With no possible way of making a connection, Oh Yeah Come on back, maybe they'll save us Savers from ourselves, Oh Yeah
The song suggests that humans have difficulty connecting or communicating with each other, and depends on someone else to save them from their own disconnection or detachment.

On the edge of the the milky way Far from the paradise, going to school, serving time On the edge of the the milky way Dropped us off, and left us here Smoking up, the atmosphere
The song restates that humans are on the edge of the Milky Way, wasting their time and polluting their environment.
